Outback,
Thanks for looking at this so closely. I actually updated the article so that it has the corrections you stated. I really have to start paying better attention. I appreciate your input and I’m glad that you tried out building it from scratch. I think you gain more that way. More to come so stay tuned.

All my best.

Hi – A really interesting Combinator patch that has given me a bunch of ideas – thanks for sharing this!

When I was building the patch and running through this tutorial and I notice you’ve made a typo or two. None of them is crucial, but I thought it was worth mentioning:

1. you say create 2 audio merger splitters, when you actually mean create 2 CV merger splitters
2. in the Slider connections you say “Connect another split from Split B to the Vocoder Hold input” but then you say “Connect the third split from Split A to the Carrier Thor’s CV3 Modulation input”, and I went “Huh? Where’s the second split from Split A?”. In the image of the completed patching Vocoder hold input comes from Split A (obviously this makes no difference to the outcome of the patch, since Split B is connected to Split A, but it is slightly confusing).
3. You say “Then connect the inverted split from Split 3 to the Arp’s Velocity CV in”, which should read “Split A to the Arp’s Velocity CV in”.
4. the image of the modulation routing for the Arp shows Mod Wheel targetting the Synced Rate parameter (5/15), but there’s no mention of it above in the routing info for the Arp.

Thanks again!

Thanks Benedict.
I know it’s nothing earth-shattering. But it can have potential if you add in your own patches to the carrier Thor, and then play around with the modulating Thor. Glad you like it.

Very cool and nicely explained.

Thanks
